Or just an ordinary scared kid who still can’t swing a battle-axe or fire a white-hot plasma pulse rifle. 14-year-old Tom Raker has already mucked up his first training leap to Ancient Egypt. Now his dad has gone missing in the year 793 AD and Tom is the only person who can save him. Tom was wearing the standard issue digital-fibre ThredNet cloaking device. It shimmered and flickered into life and he was left standing in authentic Viking furs holding his laser-replicated broadsword. ‘Historical Ops to Raker Two,’ crackled his internal comms unit. ‘The suspect is with a seven foot Viking warlord…proceed with caution.’ Tom’s stomach lurched. Time Raker is a high tech historical adventure about a boy coming to terms with his unique ability to time travel as he searches for his father. Find out what it’s like to meet the past’s most famous rulers and leaders…and save the world from the usual deadly time-runners.
